Description

Barry Smith, Tom Sutton, and Tom PalmerConan the
Barbarian#8 Splash Page 1 Original Art (Marvel,
1971).By Crom's tangled beard, this is one fine looking
splash-page by Barry Windsor-Smith! Many fans will remember this
image as one of the trippy silk-screened blacklight posters by
Third Eye, Inc. from the early 1970s. The full body figure of Conan
standing 9.5" tall is very choice. Windsor-Smith's detailed
backgrounds and fantastic figure work made this book a treat for
the eye. Marvel's Conan comic was one of the main reasons
for a resurgence in Robert E. Howard fandom that is still going
strong today. Interest in Conan pages is still going gangbusters,
especially for such an incredible full-figure splash by the comic
artist who brought the character to life! Produced in ink over
graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 10" x 15" (counting
indicia). The page is slightly tanned, with some paste-up residue,
and production tape on the credits. There is minor amounts of
whiteout art corrections and slight corner wear. Overall in Very
Good condition.
